Yanny or Laurel

Ok, a few days behind - but what do you hear?

I hear Laurel. A family member who won’t be named heard “Jerry.”

Yanny

The NY Times provides a way "to gradually accentuate different frequencies in the original audio clip" to show how this happens.  It actually works, you hear the way you hear it, and how it can be heard the other way.

[Edited to add] Oh, and "Laurel" for me.

it's funny that when I play the sound I'll hear "yanny" the first time or two, and then it flips to "laurel," and I hear only "laurel" from then on.

On  YOUR phone - on mine it’s Yah-knee...

I have only ever heard "Laurel" no matter which clip I listen to or which device I listen to it playing on. Even the NYTimes slider bar application never sounded like "Yanny" - it sounded like a very distorted "Laurel" to me. Guess I have old ears.

Yanny all the way.

more importantly, what words do you hear in this?

 Or this:

We tried this in the Senior Art Class.  Strangely, what I heard depended on how far I was from the source of the sound.  Thus I would have to report that I heard both.
